Chapter 357: Glory is My Life
Ouyang Shuo came to the main hall, and the military discussion officially began. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, the theme of this military meeting is very clear, that is, to discuss the arrangements for the three divisions and regiments that have been reorganized.
Determining the candidates for the three division commanders is only one aspect of it.
More importantly, by increasing the establishment of three divisions and regiments in the territory, and in addition to the existing four divisions and regiments, there are already conditions for the formation of a military unit -- a regiment -- that is one level higher than that of a division or regiment.
According to the establishment, four divisions formed a corps. Unlike divisions, the corps does not have direct troops, but only the corps commander himself, equipped with a personal guard battalion.
If the division is the mainstay of the army, then the corps is a large army in the true sense of the word. It is the highest level of military unit in the army except for group armies.
Moreover, according to the convention, group armies are formed by several corps on a temporary basis in wartime.
Therefore, the corps is actually the highest level of military unit in the army in peacetime.
Often one corps is enough to dominate a local war.
Naturally, we should be cautious in forming such an important military unit.
It can even be said that the formation of the legion can be called a milestone event in the territorial army.
How to form a legion, Ouyang Shuo already has a draft.
At the beginning of the military discussion, Ouyang Shuo sold a pass first, and did not immediately announce the formation of a legion.
In the army sequence, there is such a special unit, which is always at the highest level of the army, and its position is unshakable, that is, the guards directly under the lord.
Guards, the artifact of protecting the country also.
In the previous life, a lord described this army as follows: The Guards are the sword in the hands of the lord, spreading the prestige of the lord, defending the glory of the lord, and being the brightest star in the crown.
"Glory is my life" is the most vivid portrayal of the Guards.
The current Praetorian Guard Brigade is one of the Guards.
Excluding the city defense troops, the field army alone in the territory is already close to the 100,000 mark. With such a large army, the Guards had only a pitiful Janissary Brigade, which obviously did not match its strategic positioning.
Therefore, the first thing Ouyang Shuo had to do was to reshape the Guards system.
The first to move the knife was the Praetorian Guard Brigade.
Ouyang Shuo ordered that the Praetorian Guard Brigade be renamed Yulinwei, according to the establishment of three thousand Yulinwei. The chief general of Yulin Wei, specially awarded the post of general Yulin, the head of the same division.
Wang Feng is the first general of Yulin.
The appointment of Wang Feng did not cause any waves in the army.
Since the establishment of the pro-guard team, to the promotion to the pro-guard battalion, and then to the formation of the Praetorian Guard Brigade, Wang Feng has always played the role of Ouyang Shuo's "pro-guard captain" from beginning to end.
The position of General Yulin, who is the king of the peak.
Yu Linwei, to put it bluntly, is Ouyang Shuo's personal guard unit.
In normal times, Yu Linwei is in charge of guarding the Hou Mansion.
During the war, Yu Linwei was Ouyang Shuo's pro-army. Wherever Ouyang Shuo goes, Yu Linwei will follow.
The formation of Yu Linwei is not just as simple as changing a name.
Ouyang Shuo clearly stated that all members of Yu Linwei must pass special operations training, and those who pass the assessment and have excellent grades can be selected.
Yu Linwei is a special force in the army.
Members of the current Praetorian Guard Brigade, who were eliminated in the first round of assessment, will not be selected for the Yulin Guard. In addition to special operations training, Ouyang Shuo also put forward two rigid requirements for the selection of members of Yu Linwei.
First, the minimum standard for the rank of Yulinwei is a hundred-battle elite soldier of the tenth order.
Second, Yu Linwei's qualification shall not be lower than Class B, otherwise it will not be taken.
Such a high threshold has created the prestige of Yu Linwei.
Ouyang Shuo also imposed strict restrictions on the establishment of Yu Linwei.
For a long time to come, Yu Linwei will maintain an establishment of 3,000 people. If you want to join Yu Linwei, the only way is for Yu Linwei to have casualties and fill the gap.
Ouyang Shuo's goal is to make Yu Linwei not only equal to a division in terms of status, but also comparable to a division in terms of combat effectiveness, or even surpassed.
This requires every member of Yulinwei to be able to use one as three, or even one as four.
A few days ago, the second batch of immigrants has arrived in Yazhou.
The members of the Praetorian Guard Brigade will return to Shanhai City with the North Sea Fleet to be reorganized.
Their first task is to complete the rest of the special operations training at the training base.
Where are the eliminated members of the Praetorian Guard Brigade delegated?
This involves Ouyang Shuo's structure, the second-level guards.
Ouyang Shuo ordered the formation of the Praetorian Guard Legion.
The Praetorian Guard Legion is under the direct command of Ouyang Shuo, and is usually responsible for defending the royal city, which is also the last and strongest line of defense in Shanhai City.
In wartime, the Praetorian Guard Division is the absolute main force of the campaign map.
In the future, the members of the Yulin Guard will be selected from the Praetorian Guard Division. The members of the Praetorian Division, like the previous Praetorian Brigade, were selected from the major field divisions.
The selection criteria are exactly the same as those of the previous Praetorian Guard Brigade.
If it is said that Yu Linwei is Ouyang Shuo's personal guard unit, then the Praetorian Guard Division is Ouyang Shuo's personal army.
Together, the two constituted Ouyang Shuo's indestructible guards.
In fact, in the Guards system structured by Ouyang Shuo, there are two levels, one up and one down.
It's just that with the current conditions of the territory, it does not have the conditions to build these two levels of guards, and there is no need for this for the time being. The plan can only be implemented when the time comes.
The candidate for the division commander of the Praetorian Guard Division, Ouyang Shuo unexpectedly chose Lin Yi.
Undoubtedly, among all the divisions, the Praetorian Guard Division is the most dazzling.
In such an eye-catching position, the prince arranged a young general who was not yet a high-ranking military general, and some people were a little puzzled.
No, as soon as Ouyang Shuo's words fell, the hall was already full of discussions.
The generals have no objection to the prince's efforts to build the Guard. What they don't understand is just the choice of division commander of the Praetorian Guard Division.
It's not that no one is impressed by this position.
Even special generals like Shi Wansui and Evil Lai are a little moved, especially Evil Lai.
In the eyes of thoughtful people like Bai Qi and Du Ruhui, it seems normal.
Since it is the prince's guard, whether it is General Yulin or the division commander of the Praetorian Guard Division, they are only responsible for the daily management of the army.
In wartime, the Guards were under the direct command of the princes.
As a result, both positions seem prominent, but both lack the opportunity to stand on their own. It is not surprising at all that a young military general was assigned the post of division commander.
This not only strengthened the prince's control over the Guard, but also took the opportunity to train young generals.
So why not kill two birds with one stone?!
In fact, Ouyang Shuo's favorite candidate in his heart was Luo Shixin, the division commander of the Second Division.
Luo Shixin is not only brave in battle, but also has a high character, which is the most suitable person.
It is a pity that the second division has passed the trial of the corps and has been completely branded by Luo Shixin. Therefore, Luo Shixin could not leave the Second Division easily, otherwise he would fall short.
After weighing it, Ouyang Shuo retreated to the next best thing and chose Lin Yi.
After receiving the appointment, Lin Yi was both excited and apprehensive.
The speculative gazes of the surrounding generals made Lin Yi feel a little uneasy.
Even so, Lin Yi still had to thank the prince for his trust. As for the doubts of colleagues, arguing with words is the most powerless way, and the only way is to prove yourself on the battlefield.
In the army, it has always been with fists to speak.
**********
After the formation of the Janissary Division, in fact, there were only two divisions left.
Ouyang Shuo also had arrangements for these two divisions.
Ouyang Shuo announced that the first, second, third, and fourth divisions would form the Longxiang Army.
Dragon, Supreme also.
The Dragon Xiang Legion represents the First Legion of Shanhai City.
In the future, the legion will be formed in the order of Tiger Ben, Leopard Tao, Flying Bear, Eagle Yang, and Feng Xiang.
The army of Shanhai City will also officially break away from the digital establishment of the first and second. Each legion has a unique name.
After passing the Clan Trials, each clan will also have a unique banner.
General Bai Qi, who did not live up to expectations, officially assumed the position of commander of the Longxiang Legion. As for the candidates for division commanders of the Four Masters Regiment, all of them remain unchanged.
At this point, Bai Qi can be regarded as truly mastering the most powerful military force in the army of Shanhai City.
The name of the general is truly worthy of the name.
The headquarters of the Longxiang Legion is located in the Mulan Fortress, which is still under construction.
It goes without saying that the responsibilities of the Longxiang Legion are twofold. Internally, it is responsible for the base camp of Gongwei - Lianzhou County; He was responsible for the Northern Expedition externally, and the main thing at hand was to deal with the challenges of the two major forces of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Chiyou City.
As Lianzhou County gradually calmed down, the main energy of the Longxiang Army in the future was still on the Northern Expedition.
This is also the main reason why Ouyang Shuo set up the headquarters of the Longxiang Legion in Mulan Fortress.
Mulan Fortress is the frontier and base camp of the Northern Expedition of the territory.
After Bai Qi became the commander of the corps, the Military Affairs Administration will make a major adjustment to the defense area of the Four Masters Regiment.
Among them, the 3rd Division led by Evil Lai and the 4th Division led by Mu Guiying will be stationed in Mulan Fortress. The 3rd Division was a pure infantry division, which was the best choice for garrisoning the fortress.
The 1st Division, led by Shi Wansui, will take over the Eastern Defense Area of the 3rd Division.
The 1st Division was a mixed light infantry and cavalry division, which was highly mobile and sufficient to deal with the two major defense areas in front of it. The focus of its prevention is mainly on the 100,000 mountains in the east.
According to the arrangement, the cavalry brigade of the 1st Division will be responsible for patrolling the western defense area. The remaining four brigades will all be deployed along the 100,000 Mountains in the east.
As for the 2nd Division, it is still stationed in the steppe for the time being. After the situation in the grassland is completely stabilized, the 2nd Division will reinforce Mulan Fortress at any time according to the situation and needs of the northern battlefield.
As for the defense of Shanhai City itself, there are city guard divisions on the outside and janissary divisions on the inside. Not to mention foolproof, at least it can be called impregnable.
Coupled with the construction of the outer city wall of Shanhai City, it will be completed in another month or two.
The base camp is worry-free! (To be continued.) )
